Revisionism Street - Bob Seger
I saw them standing on a corner
1d
Bathed in ordinary light
29
They turned away and started walkin'
21
And faded off into the night
28
Some years ago they were in fashion
25
Tonight they couldn't get a seat
2f
They've got themselves a brand new history
1c
From revisionism street
22
Written on revisionism street
5
28
The years of sacrifice and struggle
28
The arc of stardom's natural course
1b
The inevitable decline
23
The wolves waiting at the door
34
"let's dig up something really nasty"
36
"let's get some clay around their feet"
2f
"no ones memory is sacred 'round here
20
On revisionism street"
5
2c
"we'll never be in the arena"
31
"hey, we'll never have to compete"
32
"we'll never write a classic novel"
35
"and we'll never have to be discreet!"

23
Alfred hitchcock, isaac newton
21
Elvis presley, captain bligh
1f
They're heroic or pathetic
24
Depending on which book you buy
24
Charles d_ckens, jackie gleason
23
Burn 'em all, turn up the heat
26
If there's no truth, use innuendo
1f
This is revisionism street
5
3b
"let's find ourselves some old acquaintance"
30
"let's see what they have to say"
2d
"some disgruntled ex-employee"
20
"presto! payday!"
5
1f
A tree falls in the forest
21
A million copies go to print
21
Some parasitic little feeder
1f
Sits back and makes a mint
27
Somewhere a baby's softly sleeping
1c
Lt's innocence complete
29
Unaware they're workin' late tonight
1a
On revisionism street
